Morocco goalkeeper Munir El Kajoui extends RS Berkane contract until 2028

Morocco international goalkeeper Munir El Kajoui has extended his contract with RS Berkane until 2028 after playing a key role in the club’s historic success.

The 37-year-old joined the Moroccan club in July 2024 and helped RS Berkane win their first Botola Pro title as part of a memorable domestic and continental double.

RS Berkane confirmed the new agreement on their official social media platforms with the message: “The journey continues.”

The extension underlines the club’s desire to retain an experienced leader as they look to build on their recent success and challenge for more honours in Morocco and Africa.

El Kajoui delivers historic double

El Kajoui quickly established himself as the club’s first-choice goalkeeper after arriving in Berkane.

His experience proved valuable as RS Berkane secured their maiden Botola Pro championship during the 2024/25 season.

The goalkeeper also helped the club win the CAF Confederation Cup, completing a historic double and further strengthening RS Berkane’s reputation as one of Africa’s leading club sides.

His performances have made him an important figure not only between the posts but also within the dressing room.

Experience remains crucial

El Kajoui’s new deal comes at an important time for RS Berkane, with fellow goalkeeper Anas Znaiti approaching the end of his contract and expected to leave the club.

Keeping El Kajoui therefore gives the Moroccan champions continuity in goal while providing younger members of the squad with the benefit of his experience.

The veteran has represented several top-flight clubs during his career and remains part of the Morocco national-team setup.

His international experience with the Atlas Lions, combined with his domestic and continental achievements, makes him a significant asset as RS Berkane prepare for another demanding campaign.

Berkane target more silverware

With El Kajoui now committed to the club until 2028, RS Berkane have secured an experienced presence at the back for the coming seasons.

The Moroccan side will hope the goalkeeper’s continued presence can help them maintain their domestic dominance while remaining competitive in African club competitions.

After a landmark 2024/25 campaign, the club’s decision to retain El Kajoui reflects their ambition to turn their recent success into a sustained period of success in Moroccan and African football.
